Thing that "bug" you about Christmas

[AlanSprouts]

For me at the moment it has got to be those price tickets that are sticking like shite to an old army blanket on the prezzies I am trying to wrap. That and the cellophane wrappings for CD's and DVD's that need a welding torch to get the effers off.

Not being able to move in the traffic on all routes leading to from the town or a supermarket and leaving shops as quick as I entered cos the queues are crazy.

I once worked in a pub where over the Christmas period we played all the songs I got to boiling point one night and turned it off, people were not happy about it so put the tunes back on then one night in july I popped the CD in and started playing it. The locals we not happy. LOL

I love Christmas but this year it's my turn to go to the wife's mothers for Christmas dinner. Her gravy is awful...looks like pale diarrhoea. Also both in laws are a bit boring so it won't be laugh a minute whilst I'm eating my below average meal this year.

[Spyman]

People who try their hardest to be cynical and moan on about how they hate this and that. That's what I hate about Christmas.

I know what you mean. Luckily I'm at my mams this year, who obviously knows how to cook, but last year we were at the mother in laws house - to say I wasn't impressed with the watery, bland, overdone, tasteless offerings would have been an understatement.

Right, so you should have just said fucker, which is my point. You either think something is worthy of being labelled fucker or you don't.

It's just I remember a post from yourself a while back mentioning how swearing often annoyed you, was mostly unnecessary, and think of the children, and that you only swore rarely - which is all fair enough by the way. It just seems odd to see you describe something as an "effer" which we all know what it means, so why not just say the actual word if that's what you meant.

Does anyone actually go to midnight mass these days apart from old grannies?

I can't think of anything I'd like to do less at midnight on Christmas Eve.

Church services (especially catholic ones) are mind numbingly boring. I'd honestly rather die than go to an "effing" church.

[Bogratsteve]

never been to a catholic one but used to do the c of e ones as it was a family thing over 20 years ago, think they are actually quite popular still

[Quakerz]

I don't go and know nobody that does, so they can't be.

[Bogratsteve]

lol but you don't mix in the circles do you!! they would have crucified ya like that last guy who upset them....... he was born on Christmas day, fancy that

[Hilly]

I call it Midnight Mass but it's not really. It's just called the Christmas Eve service really.

The majority of people who go do tend to be the older generation, but at Christmas you get a lot of families who even it out. We'll be going on Christmas Eve and to the morning one.

True, do you get less at the Xmas day service than Xmas eve?

It used to be pretty even but over the years people have tended to lean towards the Xmas Eve service just because there's so much to do on Xmas Day, especially those with young families.

You do realise you're wasting your time?

[Bogratsteve]

Since I moved from Darlo into the sticks I have found that attendance to the churches for key services i.e Harvest festival, Xmas Eve and Easter Sunday tends to be better attended than in the towns - This may be because of more community but certainly where i live is because the school (edit from church) is a religious based school and they obviously actively encourage the kids to go, they tend to sing and put on plays etc

[Quakerz]

Religious based schools should be shut.
